It's that time of year again...

It's that time of year again...

Despite the moans and grumbles we feel we must make when the first leaves fall or we realise that we no longer need the black out blinds to help us sleep (and then someone reminds you the clocks go back next week- oh joy!) there is something truely wonderful about Autumn.  Maybe it's just the fact that the season is changing, and come May next year I will say the same thing but for me, there is nothing more life affirming that seeing your breath in the cold air, or meeting up with friends and watching the night draw in from the comfort of a warm eatery.

This time of year is so wonderful for food too, with Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas all on the horizon. The bikini diet is well and truly over and now it is our duty to fatten up so we have reason to declare our New Years Resolutions and avoid chocolate for the whole of January- or at least for the first week!

I am so lucky in my job to be able to use the things that inspire me in life to create wonderful treats for our customers. Every Friday, we sit down and plan the specials for the week ahead, finding out what our grocer has a glut of and working with that or tweaking a recipe found in an old magazine. 

We are currently working on our Christmas flavours which are always fun to create, mixing old techniques with new flavour combos.

Fancie is open 7 days a week, every week up until Christmas Day- so no excuses not to come and visit!

Fancie Pants!

Not content with baking, blogging, and generally keeping the people of Sheffield in cakes, Fancie have had time to follow in the footsteps of all the greats; Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood... erm, Victoria Beckham (?)... yes, cake lovers, we too have turned fashion designer and created a cheeky little range for you to peruse over and then parade in!

Check us out http://363629.spreadshirt.net/en/GB/Shop/Index/index and treat yourself!

Lots of exciting plans cooking on the Fancie kitchen table as well as in the Fancie kitchen ovens- so watch this space!!

Get your pinny off!!

So, the evenings are getting lighter, the sun keeps threatening to shine, and I can almost hear the male population clambering to prepare the Barbecue ready for the first soiree of the season...

Now I don't want your sympathy (well, just a little maybe) but this summer, rather than enjoying burnt sausages and Pimms, we will be delivering our tasty treats all over South Yorkshire (and just a little over the border too) ready for you to impress your guests- not that I'm suggesting for a minute you would pass them off as your own.... oh no!

A particular favourite for the more discerning guest is proving to be our Gourmet range- a cross between a Cupcake and a desert, these little pots will drive your guests.... well, potty (sorry!) Perfect for the poshest of parties and subdued soirees alike these little devils always dress to impress.

We are currently creating; Tiramisu, Raspberry, White Chocolate and Amaretto, Lemon Cheesecake, Banoffie and Snickerlicious and introducing new flavours all the time, so keep your eyes peeled or get in touch if you have a particular favourite that you would like Fancie to work its magic on.

The thing about these little beauties is that by the time the food is burnt *ahem* cooked and the bottles have been drained, you really don't want to be messing round with bowls of trifle or the latest chocolate creation.... Our tasty treats are delivered in their own little perfect package which they can be eaten straight out of and then tossed right in the bin- that's right, no washing up either... I know, I really am too good to you!

Priced at £6 for 4, you need never put your pinny on again... just sit back and enjoy a burnt sausage and Pimms on us! xx

Read all about it!!

Who would have thought that as well as making, baking and carting boxes of our little delights around the county Fancie would have time to be the hottest new Blogger in town? Is there no end to our talents I hear you ask....

Fear not, we are not about to use this as a platform to share our deepest thoughts or tout for a book deal, we just thought it was a nifty way of keeping you updated on what's going into and (more importantly) coming out of the Fancie ovens!!

So, we'll be making regular posts to keep you updated on all things Fancie, starting right now! The website is up and running... and looking great (I feel justified saying that, I had no part in getting the ideas from paper onto the screen infront of you. Thanks Martin!) Click away http://www.fancie.co.uk/ and sign up for regular updates and our handy little Birthday reminder- our Cupcakes are a clever little trick to easing the pain of being another year older!

So I'll be mainly using this supercool Blog to bang on about new flavours and products, and to spread the Fancie word...

Drop us a line, tell us what the occasion is (Wedding/ Birthday/ Corporate event/ Dinner party/ Bad Hair Day) and we will work our magic...

Our cakes come in all shapes and sizes, so although we love our Cupcakes as much as you do, we are also clever at making bigger creations, tell us exactly what you have in mind and we will get it to you in a jiffy!

We are currently only delivering within Sheffield and South Yorkshire, but get in touch if you aren't within the area and we'll do everything within our power to get to you... We would hate for you to miss out due to geography!

So that's it for now, keep clicking back to see whats new and in the meantime don't forget..... A little of what you Fancie does you good! xx
